who killed the world? part 1/?
mad max: fury road meme: [2/3] quotes | | “We are not things”
“Angharad is the true ideological opponent of Immortan Joe. He represents a toxic ideology of death, while she represents life, the alternate way of living. As the instigator of the Wives’ escape, and the one who came up with “We Are Not Things” she was the most revolutionary of them because she saw the potential for a new way of living, and she saw clearly that “what killed the world” was a way of life that glorified killing” [x]
#darling heart#god i SCREAMED when she did the bottom left#physically putting herself and her VISIBLY HUGE PREGNANT BELLY between joe and max#STARING DEFIANCE AT HIM with just capable’s arm around her#purposefully fouling his shot without a single fuck about her own safety#because she’d rather die to save a life than live and return to joe#MY GIRL#mad max#as queue wish @zombeesknees
Glad to see my lifelong disinterest in golf is paying off
let me tell you about golf
i grew up in a little desert valley called Tucson, Arizona, where it only rains 2 inches a year on average. the majority of the city’s water is pumped from an underground aquifer, which took millions of years to fill. one of the biggest conservation efforts in our city was for water, naturally, and i spent a lot of time learning about low flow toilets and 5 minute showers. i learned that filling your sink basin and washing your dishes in that water is less costly than running the tap. i learned that it only takes 2 days without water on the desert for someone to die
the city was sinking as the aquifer drained. neighborhoods fell into flood zones that didnt exist 10 years ago
there’s a road called Golf Links in the city and it is lined with golf courses. miles of green grass where grass doesn’t grow, in a valley where it doesn’t rain. why? because the rich white retirees who moved there to stop the aching in their joints decided they should also get to play golf. meanwhile our public schools taught small children like me that taking long showers would kill the world
let the golf industry burn
There are 15,500+ golf courses in the United States alone.
Each one consumes ~312,000 gallons of water per day.
That consumption is equivalent to 55+ million humans per day in the United States… roughly 1/6 the entire population.
We simply cannot sustain this frivolity, especially for something 99% of us will never use.
I feel like "We simply cannot sustain this frivolity, especially for something 99% of us will never use" is basically the Millennial slogan for dealing with all of baby boomers' bullshit, not just golf
WITNESS ME, BLOOD BAG!
this little rhyme always feels like a punch in the stomach because the warboys felt the need to make one specifically to those who willingly burn to death to get to Valhalla
“grabs the sun”.. what does this mean if not “lighting himself on fire” ?
so many of them died this way they needed a rhyme
Why you make me cry??
waIT BUT HEAR ME OUT. So according to Norse mythology, the end of time is called Ragnarok. In Ragnarok Loki’s children (a serpent and a giant wolf named Fenrir) are going to devour the Earth and kill Odin. Also during this apocalyptic final battle, Fenrir’s two sons, Skoll and Hati, are going to eat the Sun and Moon. Personally I think Nux and the War Boys are relating themselves to Skoll, the son of the one who killed the world. He will literally “grab the sun” between his jaws to help complete his father’s mission.
